The round-faced junior sister hurriedly said:
"Senior sister, you have a distant great-uncle looking for you. He says his name is Du Gu Qiubai, and he's your mother's distant cousin—so basically your great-uncle."
"Hmm… hurry and come with me, he's been waiting at the academy gate for quite some time."
Du Gu Yan: ???Du Gu Bo: ???
The grandfather and granddaughter stared at each other wide-eyed.
Du Gu Yan looked confused and said,"Grandpa, do I have a great-uncle named Du Gu Qiubai?"
Uh… Du Gu Bo awkwardly scratched his head and said,"He's a relative on your mother's side. I'm not too clear on that, but why does he have the same surname as us?"
Ye Lingling tugged at Du Gu Yan's sleeve and gave her a look.
Du Gu Yan's face suddenly stiffened. She looked at the round-faced female student and asked,"Is this person male or female? How old? What do they look like?"
Cough cough.Ye Lingling was choked.
Big sis! The guy claims to be your great-uncle—guess if it's a man or a woman?
The round-faced junior sister thought of Su Chen's appearance and blushed slightly, saying,"He's a man, a little older than us, very handsome, very handsome!"
Uh-oh!
Both Du Gu Yan and Ye Lingling changed their expressions. From the diary entries, it wasn't hard to guess that the Su Chen who made Hu Liena swoon must really be very handsome!So that must be the guy outside.
What to do now?Du Gu Yan nervously glanced at Ye Lingling. She had been confident before, but after reading the diary today, she felt uneasy.
Du Gu Bo asked from the side,"Yan Yan, is there something wrong with this guy?"
"No, no."
Du Gu Yan hurriedly said,"Grandpa, we're going out to meet him later. Remember, absolutely do as I say—don't get on his bad side, or I won't talk to you anymore."
Du Gu Bo nodded slightly, feeling something odd inside. It seemed like they were called out today because of this guy.
The group headed toward the academy gate. By chance, Yu Tianheng ran into Du Gu Yan and happily greeted her:
"Yan Zi, are you guys going out?"
Du Gu Yan glanced at Yu Tianheng and, feeling down, didn't bother replying, only nodding slightly.
Yu Tianheng felt a bit disappointed but hurried after her and asked,"Yan Zi, are you upset today?"
Du Gu Yan frowned and said,"None of your business. I'm in a bad mood, don't bother me."
At this moment,Yu Tianheng was still just a pursuer of Du Gu Yan, so this was a moment to show himself. He didn't feel resentful but followed closely, trying to find chances to please her.
Du Gu Bo cast a calm glance at Yu Tianheng but said nothing.
At the academy gate,Su Chen spotted the approaching group—purple-haired, exotic beauty Du Gu Yan, ethereal beauty Ye Lingling, and the green-clad Du Gu Bo. What a pleasant surprise!
Since Du Gu Bo was here, no need to wait for Du Gu Yan to summon anyone.
The problem could be solved today.
Then there's Ye Lingling: silver short hair, extremely beautiful, cold outside but warm inside, with a Nine-Heart Sea Hawthorn martial soul.
No matter how many soul rings she had, her only skill was complete healing, a powerful AoE healing ability.
If only they could convince her to be their personal doctor and tailor a nurse uniform for her—that'd be perfect.
At the same time,While Su Chen carefully observed the group, they also focused on him, instantly recognizing him as Du Gu Yan's great-uncle.
Du Gu Bo felt something strange: the boy looked extraordinary, but his soul power was only level 17. His confident and easygoing aura didn't seem faked. Strange!
Ye Lingling was pleasantly surprised, thinking, Wow! This Su Chen really is handsome. No wonder Hu Liena from the Martial Soul Hall is head over heels.
She just didn't understand why he had to beat up Yan Zi. If he hadn't, they all could have been friends.
Du Gu Yan clenched her teeth in hatred. That damn Su Chen—this was the first time she met him, and although he was handsome, he was so detestable.
This was her first time seeing him, and he writes in his diary about wanting to beat her every day—what kind of grudge is that?
Su Chen raised his hand in greeting:"Hello everyone, it's been so many years. Yan Zi, you've grown so much, and big brother Du Gu Bo is already a Title Douluo."
"Truly a cause for celebration!"
Du Gu Yan almost bit her teeth to pieces upon hearing that.
Damn!Are you a sex toy? How can you pretend so well!
Du Gu Bo's face darkened and said:"Kid, since you know I'm a Title Douluo and still dare to impersonate my relative, I see you're asking for death."
Su Chen looked awkward but sincere:"Sorry for tricking you out like this, but otherwise, you definitely wouldn't pay attention to a nobody like me."
"Let me introduce myself: I'm Su Chen, a prophet who foresaw that you two, grandfather and granddaughter Du Gu, have been poisoned with a deadly toxin and don't have long to live. I'm here to help detoxify you."
Du Gu Yan immediately panicked:"You… Su Chen, don't be so outrageous. What's your purpose? I warn you! With my grandpa here, if you dare harm us, you're dead."
Du Gu Bo narrowed his eyes and stared hard at Su Chen:"Kid, what exactly did you just say?"
Su Chen hurriedly waved his hand:"Yan Zi, calm down."
"I'm the least violent person. I said you two were poisoned, and senior Du Gu must be aware of that. So, I want to make a deal with you."
Du Gu Yan was a bit doubtful and glanced at Ye Lingling, who nodded slightly.
Apparently,At first, Su Chen wrote in his diary that beating Du Gu Yan was just to lure out Du Gu Bo, and the ultimate goal was some kind of 'cutting grass'???
Now that Du Gu Bo was here, that part could probably be skipped!
Du Gu Bo naturally understood but didn't trust Su Chen. After all, even as a Title Douluo, he couldn't handle the toxin inside him. What could a level 17 soul master like Su Chen do?
"Speak. Who exactly are you? Who sent you? What's your purpose? If you don't tell the truth today, I won't let you off."
Su Chen smiled and said:"This isn't the place to talk. Also, before business, we can't avoid a friendly match. How about we move somewhere else and chat over a meal?"
Then Su Chen turned his gaze to Ye Lingling, politely inviting:"Beautiful Miss Ye Lingling, I also want to talk to you. Would you be so kind as to join us for a meal?"
Su Chen's elegant and carefree charm seemed to mock strength itself, which really annoyed Du Gu Bo and the others.
You're just a level 17 soul master, how dare you?
Who gave you that courage!
Du Gu Bo's face darkened, coldly saying:"Joining for a meal is fine, but at least show me you're worthy of it!"
